The truth is most people perceive in their bones the vast vacancies in which they swim and they therefore cling to distraction, drugging and denial as much as possible. … [click on title for the rest of the post]
On Hearing Voices: Recovery as Social Action: The Personal is the Political
Jacqui Dillon is the National Chair of the Hearing Voices Network in England. She has also helped develop HVN USA and has been involved in our Facilitator Trainings. I love this because I've often viewed my healing process to simply not be just about me. It's about all of us. It is for all of us too. And I also could not have done it without the constant communication with all of you out there. This has been a relationship process even when I've had to go deep into myself and spend most time alone.… [click on title for the rest of the post]

change, change, change
I'm utterly amazed at how many more professionals now read and share my work all over social networks...it's incredible how much has changed since I first started doing this sort of work... I see things change everyday and am constantly motivated because the one thing I do see, always, is change... The monolith which is the system may take more time, but change is everywhere...in every one of us always... And if I didn't think I could help folks heal and change etc, I wouldn't get up in the morning, frankly. I've seen 1000s of folks get better after being harmed. I need nothing else to keep on inspiring others do the same. Healing is by it's nature, also, change... [click on title to read and view more]
Intimacy with the Body: Energy Medicine Yoga
Lauren speaks with Tami about the effectiveness of combining energy medicine techniques with yoga, how these practices can release trauma, and on-the-spot techniques to calm the fight-or-flight response. I've learned to do similar sorts of release work for myself with the combination of practices I utilize (and now that I've been following this sort of work for many years). The more one works with the body and mind in movement and meditation the more this sort of thing becomes intuitive and self-directed. The body speaks to us. Always. We need only to learn to listen. … [click on title to read and view more]
